Multi-role Printed Bomblet MK1
about
A multi-role bomblet capable of being hand thrown, fired from a rifle launcher cup attachment or dropped from a commercial quadcopter drone. Reverse-engineered from an example seeing wide use in a conflict zone.
The bomblet uses a sliding impact inertia fuze resulting in reliable grazing action. A washer and modified M10 bolt provide a fixed striker located at the nose. The tail & body unit, fuze and detonator holder are 3D printed.
Files are also included for a simple point-detonating fuze which uses a carriage bolt filed to chisel point. This fuze will require a precise head-on impact to function but may be slightly easier to make.
MK1-A:
Overall Length: 179mm
Width: 45mm
Main filling: 38g PETN
Fragmentation: Steel Ball Bearings x 105
Fuze operation: Impact / Inertia
MK1-B:
Overall Length: 188mm
Width: 45mm
Fuze operation: Impact / Point-detonating
